BIG STARALEX CHILTON, JODY STEPHENS
with JIM DICKINSON, STEVE CROPPER, WILLIAM MURPHY, CARL MARSH, etc.
The quintessential American power pop band, Big Star remains one of the most mythic
and influential cult acts in all of rock & roll. Originally led by the singing and songwriting duo
of Alex Chilton and Chris Bell, the Memphis-based group fused the strongest elements
of the British Invasion era -- the melodic invention of the Beatles, the whiplash guitars of the Who,
and the radiant harmonies of the Byrds -- into a ramshackle but poignantly beautiful sound
which recaptured the spirit of pop's past even as it pointed the way toward the music's futurer

SLEEVE EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)
After Big Star released Radio City, they fell apart, leaving Alex Chilton to record in 1975 what was later released
as 3rd (aka Sister Lovers). The album is strikingly different from everything Chilton created before or after.
With pained outpourings such as the haunting "Holocaust," it holds its own against rock's greatest monuments
to existential angst, from Tonight's the Night to Bryter Layter. It also ranks alongside the Beach Boys' SMiLE
as perhaps the only "classic" album with no set sequence. (Chilton never bothered to sequence it because,
upon its completion, no label wanted to release it.) It finally came out four years later, and since then,
while it has appeared on several labels, no two have used the same track order....(AllMusic)
